In Videos: $240 Worth of Pudding on 'The State'

I've been quoting this skit for about 10 years now. I have very fond memories of watching "The State" in my dorm room! There was also a bizarre skit involving a sausage factory!

I also miss Smurf Berry Cereal. I completely forgot about those microwavable smores, but I loved those things too. I will keep my eye out for pudding pops! I could find them in Missouri and I haven't seen them in California yet.

I totally agree with the Tater Skins chips and the magic middle cookies, both by Keebler. Loved those.
What I haven't seen in years but loved as a child, are pudding pops. Remember the ads with Bill Cosby. Maybe they're still made, but I can't find them, I loved the swirled ones the most. I once found a recipe and made some, but they just weren't quite the same (though pretty tasty).

Flourless chocolate cake. I made it for the first dinner I cooked for my now-husband when we were dating and then as the groom's cake at our wedding. I've had the recipe demanded from me on several occasions.

Anybody remember Sprinkle Spangles? Anybody? It was a cereal made of star shapes, sprinkles and lots of sugar. Beautiful rocket fuel.

I just found some cookies that are a lot like Magic Middles at a truck stop in Italy. They're called Grisbi. Google them online.

$240 worth of pudding? You could buy 240 pocket coffees with that...

Does anyone remember the little potato chips that came in a box? They looked like little uninflated balloons. They were really crispy, and it seems like there was a hot air balloon on the box. They were always near the Bugles. They kind of tasted like Munchos. I have been thinking about these for years.

Had to join up just to add this comment: I totally miss Fizzies, the fruity tablets that you dropped in cold water to make instant carbonated beverages. The chemists couldn't get it to work or taste quite the same after cyclamates were banned in 1969. Although is supposedly reformulated good as new in 2006. http://www.oldtimecandy.com/fizzies.htm

Sunshine Hydroxy Cookies! They were much better than Oreos for me. Well, OK ... maybe my palate has changed, and but now I will never know. I would still love to get my hands on some of those cookies. I haven't been able to find them in eons. Probably too many dreaded trans-fats. Such a bummer ...

I must admit that i remeber almost all of these foods, but honestly don't miss any of them! Charlie Chips in the can delivered to your front door was THE BEST. Thye may be available some places, but they are definitely not the same chip. they are not any good anymore. That is my reminiscence.
